Casa Marina

Transforming casablanca’s cultural waterfront

Developing the vision & detailed Masterplan alongside WATG, Scape created a vibrant urban centre embracing the rich history & bright future of Casablanca.

Located adjacent to the ancient Medina and iconic Hassan II Mosque the development will revitalise a stretch of previously underutilised seafront.

The plan proposed an animated marina edge which included a luxury hotel, boutique retail, cafes and restaurants. An iconic tower hotel anchors the project site and creates a visual reference to the rest of the city. This is connected to a convention centre providing a dramatic and interactive backdrop to a new public square. A four star hotel provides a seamless connection with the adjacent retail centre.
